An elegant detached period former post office in a stunning, ele- vated, rural location with views over open undulating countryside. The property is thought to date, in its ear- liest parts from the 17th century and has later Georgian additions. The post office closed in the early years of this century and the orginal shop has been incorporated into the main living accommodation, providing the property with a lovely bow-windowed living room which overlooks the farmland opposite. There are two further reception rooms and a kitchen/breakfast room plus a useful utility room. The three double first floor bedrooms are served by a large family bathroom and a separate WC. The house has many wonder- ful period features and has been owned by the same family since the 1940s. It offers scope for enhance- ment and extension (subject to consent) and occupies a generous sized plot which is thought to extend to about 0.25 acres (subject to survey). There is a large garage/workshop and a brick and pantiled cart shed which has potential to be converted to a studio or outside work space. The garden is sunny and flanked by a lovely Victorian brick garden wall. There is also a fascinating spine wall built in a serpentine or crinkle- crankle fashion which divides the rear garden into two distinct areas. Houses of this nature and with this po- tential are becoming increasingly difficult to find and we therefore strongly recommend an early internal appointment to view.
